Hot Toys - TMS035 - Bo-Katan Kryze (The Mandalorian Season 2)

[FlyAndFight]

I'm not a fan of it. The picture is hazy looking. So I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. Also, the railing attachment is okay. But I would rather that they spent the money on a better quality double-jointed body.

That is a shame, as I'm sure that was the reason for the higher price. Would have definitely preferred a better body, as you mentioned.

She arrived a day early! Fabulous looking figure. The head sculpt is even better in person. Sadly, she’s one of the least posesable figures I own. Her arms are so stiff and rigid. The body they used is pretty cheap. Another downside is that she’s quite a bit taller than Rey and Leia. So I’m not sure those bodies would work as a replacement.

She looks great! Great photos.

From what you describe it sounds like they’re definitely using that miserable Armorer body. Always feels like you’re one stiff joint click away from breaking a limb.

But she can hold her helmet and point her guns so I guess it’ll do.

If anyone finds a great replacement body for Bo-Katan or the Armorer, please let us know. It really is a shame that Hot Toys opted for a rigid body for such a dynamic, action-packed character.

oooo that's scary. Makes me think of transforming an MP Transformer at times where the joints are so tight you wonder if it's really supposed to go that way

I got the notice for final payment, and then delay, yesterday as well.

I was charged the retail and shipping today tho, so hopefully it will ship soon, at least it’s paid for when it does

Just to be clear, the joints that are the most problematic are the arms. The elbow and shoulder joints are extremely stiff. They also have very limited movement range. The knees aren’t too bad, but the leg joint is also stiff.

Cool thank you

Exactly like a MP Transformer. To be fair, I don’t know that they’ll actually snap, it‘s just that the amount of pressure required feels like enough to also break something.

I wouldn't say its a cheap body, its the one they developed for the Harley Quinn figure, the single jointed elbows and knees are due to Harley's minimal costumes. I assume they're using that body for the mandalorians since its a little thiccer than the other female body type they use for everyone else

Agreed. Was just playing around with Armorer again and forgot how hefty a figure she is. I’m not sure they’re using this body as a cost-cutting measure.

Bo vs Armorer is the showdown we need next season. I feel like these two have a lot to get off their chests about each other.

 

[hen88]

I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace just the arms. Does anyone know how hard it is to do this?

That's an awesome pose for those two Mandalorian ladies!

Might be an awkward battle given their limited mobility with Hot Toys decision to include ratcheted single jointed arms!

Sorry, i just had to say it lol.

Never the less, i do look forward to finally adding Bo Katan to my collection. =)

Usually it's not too difficult, at least when swapping arms on a male figure body. They tend to share the same or similar internal hinges that you need to unscrew to get the arms off and then swap the arms with something double jointed. After getting the rubber chest off first. Based on that experience, I would assume, but don't know for certain, that there would be a similar approach here.

I'd watch it. With bells on.

So...Just got home from 2nd funeral within a week...

Auspost have left Bo at the front door,and Axe is at the LPO to pick up.
lol

That doesn't make ANY sense.

been saying for months that this is my biggest hope for season 3. seems like a perfect matchup.

kinda suspecting a bait-and-switch where bo isnt actually the villain, and the armorer is. not sure how din would feel about that though considering she basically raised (aka indoctrinated) him.

but yeah. bo vs armorer would be fire. makes too much sense story wise.

i’m sorry for your losses, hopefully the new figures will help you at least slightly get your mind off things.

and yes,Star Wars is my comfort zone,and chatting on here and looking at everyone's pics helps distract.
